Sidewire

Andy Bromberg describes his path from small high school web businesses and Stanford’s Bitcoin Group to founding Sidewire and later co-founding CoinList. He explains token networks through Filecoin, showing how tokens can coordinate payments, storage providers, and verifiers without a trusted intermediary. He argues that token sales suit only a small set of businesses, especially where removing an intermediary is essential, and discusses their risks, investor alignment, and differences from equity financing. The conversation also covers CoinList’s token sale services, security tokens, and the early state of crypto infrastructure.
